Is there a way to stroke some paths with a custom brush from bottom to top instead from top to bottom like Photoshop usually does?

In the example image, I would like that using a custom brush over the paths the visible tips would the bottom ones instead of the top ones

Have you tried making the path the opposite way?

A second thing to try is to rotate the pixels now that the brush strokes have been applied to the paths. If this is your entire document, you can rotate the image 180° from the Image menu. Otherwise, select and rotate from the Edit menu.

Yes, is this. I mix your answer and davescm​'s one, rotating the paths 180º, stroke the paths in a layer and rotate the layer 180º

You can also reverse the direction of the Path:

Deselect the path, but still have it active in the Paths panel. With the Pen tool, click on the end of the path you want to be the terminus. The cursor will be a pen nib with a little circle, and you will see "Pick up path" in the History panel.

Now stroke your path, and it will go the other way.
